Luke 20:19-24

¹⁹And the princes of (the) priests, and (the) scribes, sought to lay on him hands in that hour, or And the princes of the priests, and the scribes, sought to lay hands on him in that hour, and they dreaded the people; for they knew that to them he said this likeness. (And the high priests, and the scribes, wanted to lay their hands on him at that time, but they feared the people; for they knew that he had said this parable about them.)

²⁰And they espied, and sent spies, that feigned themselves (to be) just, that they should take him in word, and betake him to the power of the prince, and to the power of the justice. (And they watched him, and sent spies, who pretended to be righteous, or honest men, so that they could catch him with his own words, and then deliver him unto the power and the authority of the Governor.)

²¹And they asked him, and said, Master (or Teacher), we know, that rightly thou sayest and teachest, or Master, we know, that thou sayest and teachest rightly; and thou takest not the person of man (or and thou favourest not any person), but thou teachest in truth the way of God.

²²Is it leaveful to us to give tribute to the emperor, or to Caesar, or nay? (Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?)

²³And he beheld the deceit of them, and said to them, What tempt ye me? (or Why do you test me?)

²⁴Show ye to me a penny; whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and said to him, The emperor’s or Caesar’s.
